AI for Home Care Providers: Work Smarter Not HarderBy Paul SmeatonLength6h 55m
About this audiobook
You're managing thirty carers across thirty addresses, fielding calls before dawn, and holding a service together through sheer will. There's a smarter way. Written by a former home care CEO, AI or Die shows you how practical AI tools — used right now, with no tech team and no big budget — can close the gaps that exhaust you: missed visits, knowledge loss, on-call overload, and inspection dread. This is not a technology book. It's an operations guide for the realities you face every day.
